High-mass binary black hole mergers from detailed binary evolution models

Max M. Briel, Olcay Bıyıklı, Tassos Fragos +10

Gravitational-wave observations reveal a population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers with primary masses above , extending into and potentially beyond…

A Four-dimensional Model-agnostic Probe into the Astrophysical Origins of Binary Black Hole Subpopulations

Anarya Ray, Vicky Kalogera

There is strong evidence of multiple binary black hole~(BBH) subpopulations in the cumulative gravitational wave catalog by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration that likely originate…

Irregularly Sampled Time Series Interpolation for Binary Evolution Simulations Using Dynamic Time Warping

Ugur Demir, Philipp M. Srivastava, Aggelos Katsaggelos +9

Binary stellar evolution simulations are computationally expensive. Stellar population synthesis relies on these detailed evolution models at a fundamental level. Producing thousan…

Learning the Stellar Structure Equations via Self-supervised Physics-Informed Neural Networks

Manuel Ballester, Santiago Lopez-Tapia, Seth Gossage +9

Stellar astrophysics relies critically on accurate descriptions of the physical conditions inside stars. Traditional solvers such as \texttt{MESA} (Modules for Experiments in Stell…
